***CHEETAHS** Sun., 9/3

Not sure what is on tap for me today. Have a little bit of DOMS from either those machines I used at the gym or ME or both. It's dry out there and I can actually see the sun again (yay!), but I'm thinkin' I'd like to tackle BC. It looks terrifying! I am still having problems with my left leg (achilles, knots in calves, and the ITB area), so another day off from running may do me good.

Elaine :: lots of positive vibes comin' your way this morning for a strong run! The cheetahs will be w/ you in spirit! :)

Katie :: so sorry to hear your back's got you out of commish. It sounds pretty bad, though, so DH is probably right to try and put the brakes on you. As frustrating as it is, be careful, let it heal, and ease back into things.

Laura :: glad your father is doing OK. It causes so much confusion and worry when the doctors don't communicate.

Jennifer :: another cheetah down with a bug. :-( What lousy timing. Hope you can shake it off quickly! Rest up & take care.

Lots of schoolwork on my agenda today, too. I can't believe Labor Day is already here...

Have a great day, everyone!
cathy :)
 
Good morning cheetahs

Cathy...thanks...it does sound like you were on the Elliptical as it does feel a bit funny at first! So will it be BC/ME today...:)...wow sorry about the leg. It might be a good idea to take the day off running and yes BC is a bit terrifying...

Jennifer...hope your leg feels better today. Sorry about the cold...

Jess...Way to go on the 21 miles!!! WOW...how long did it take you?....I hope you did eat anything you wanted yesterday...you deserved it!!

Wendy...how did you like Runners World? Good job on the treadmill.

Katrina...welcome! Great times on your 5K's!! Hope the weather improves there in NY.

Laura...nice to see you again. Good job doing the 10.3 miles.

Shelly...http://bestsmileys.com/excited/3.gif[/img]...1st in your division!!! That is so great! I really liked Powerstrike and the one I got was the easiest but to me it was tough. Iliana had some great muscle definition!! I am also very happy about my nephew!

Natalie...I'm glad you got some new shoes. They can make such a huge difference. Saucony also comes in wider widths. I have a good running friend with wide feet..your half is getting closer!

Adri...sounds like you like clothes shopping! Good workout yesterday and thanks for your kind words about my nephew..

Katie..sorry your back is still a problem...I do hope it gets better soon.

Elaine...sending prayers and good vibes for your 20!!!

I'll be doing about 14-15 miles with friends today. Some pavement and some trail. We will try and go early as the weather has been a bit warmer here...

Have a great day...:)
 
Carole :: Just BC - not ME!! That one spanked me yesterday. The more of these workouts I get, the more I want to bow down to Cathe. She is just incredible.

Which brings me back to the issue of whether or not to join the gym...I REALLY, REALLY like her gym (I was in awe yesterday), BUT I don't really think I NEED to. Not at this point. I am probably getting a better workout by having Cathe in my living room pushing me and reminding me about form than I would if I were on my own at the gym.

Have a great run today & stay cool. :)

We must have a lot of cheetahs sleepin' in today.
 
I agree completely..Cathe is incredible. I think if I lived near her, I would definitely join her gym!!! Is it really expensive? Just think how tough the new workouts will be...:)...Yes I think the cheetahs are sleeping in this morning...
 
It's $39 per month. I would probably be less hesitant if it were a tad closer. It's 20 min. from my house and about 40 min. from my work.
 
hi Cheetahs,

I'm postponing my long run for today and planning to do it tomorrow because of what feels like a chest cold. I've run 11 miles the past two Sundays and was planning on doing 8 today, but feel a little feverish and achy, so I just did some light upper body weights and Coremax.

Party plans for the 4 parties here at my pad in the three-day period next weekend are on track. Things are shaping up and my kids go back to school Tuesday and I want to focus on that now.

Elaine--good luck with the 20 miles out from your house.

Carole -- I love the pictures. We have a lot of deer families around where I live and I see them often when I run. Have fun on your trail run with friends.

Cathy -- I love BC weights. I did the tape yesterday and again earlier this week. I forgot how much I enjoy it. I think the core work on it is great. A lot of oblique focus -- which is good for me. P.S. the yard at my house is smelling better today. Watering has helped!

Shelly-WTG on your race!! That's awesome. You must be enjoying the afterglow today!

Jess--How are you today after your long, long run? What did you eat for lunch with your dad.

Laura-- glad your dad was ok. Sounds like you are feeling a lot better these days. Yahoo!!!

Adri--so you live anywhere near Cape Elizabeth in Maine? I have a friend who has three kids who lives there. Her oldest is in 8th grade -- same age as my oldest son. When do you start back to school?

Hi to everyone else checking in later: JenniferMaria (are you a guy? that's what your profile said, so I'm confused!), Dina, The Wendy-meister, Gayle, Mattea, Katrina -- nice long run yesterday!, FitKansasChick -- have you heard of the Girls on the Run program for teens?, Katie - hope your back is feeling better and Judy --how's the hip? and everyone else I am forgetting!!!

-Barb
:) :) :)
 
Morning Sekcy Cheetahs!!
No cardio for me today, but doing biceps, triceps, and abs at the gym and did S&H biceps and MM ties. Hopefuly I can jog outside tomorrow for cardio;-)

Cathy-isn't it great having DOMS!! When I get them it tells me that I really worked hard that day:D

Jennifer-hope your leg feels better:)

Wendy-How was your run? Did you win?

Katie-I hate back problems. I used to get a few back pains w/ gymnastics, but haven't latley. Hope you get better soon!!

Elaine-Good luck on your 20 miler!!

Carol-Your welcome! And have fun running w/ your friends!And beautiful pic. Thats so cute but must be so annoying at the same time
}(

Natalie-I got new shoes too. Isn't it fun to shop for yourself;-)

Sorry if I missed anyone. Still trying to remember everyone who checks in here!!

Have a great day cheetahs!

Adri--so Portland is near Cape Elizabeth, I think. How lucky you are to live by the Ocean!

If I am remembering right there's a big bridge that goes up and down connecting the road between the two? Have a nice day today and enjoy your last days of vacation before getting back into the school routine.


-Barb
:) :) :)
 
Hey Ladies,

Thanks so much for the warm welcome!

Shelly C-- Yes, I do plan on running longer races. Perhaps one more 5K then a 10K, then a half-marathon. We'll see;-)

Cathy-- I live on Long Island--are you from NY also?

Carole & Laura & everyone else, thanks for the nice comments about my 5Ks! (Carole--you've got me wanting a Garmin 305!!)

Today, I followed the first day of Cathe's September workout but modified it a little bit. Did 5 miles on the treadmill, then CoreMax Segment #2 (haven't done that in awhile--I can finally do a jackknife on the ball!) and I did a Legs & Glutes 21 minute premix.

Have a great day everyone and those who follow!

Katrina:)
 
Hey Sekcy Cheetahs!
Barb-Yea Portland is like oh say like 20 or 25 mintues away from Cape Elizabeth. And yes there is a large bridge that connects them. Its cool. It goes up to so big boats can pass. Me and Mom go to the beach there. I think its fun jogging there. They have great paths, and the beach is beautiful. Its also great jogging on the beach too. It kind of ads some resistance to it too:)

Katrina-Have fun w/ the rotation and have fun posting here!!

Have a great day Sekcy Cheetahs!!

Thanks so much for the support, guys :). I'm trying to nurse this cold as much as I can so I can recover fairly quickly and get back into the swing of things!

And OMG, I had no idea my profile said I'm male!! I'm most definitely NOT male LOL!! Sorry, that was pilot error on my part--I didn't know how to edit my profile and I guess the gender thingie defaults to male (which is weird because I would think there's more females in here, and the default should be on female!). While I was at it, I ended up adding more info about myself so my profile wasn't blank :).

Anyway... now I'm embarrassed *hee*.

Jennifer (who's female :))
 
Good morning cheetahs! Slept in today til 0800! It felt great :)
On tap today will be ME/BC combo and an hour of cycling. Tonight its back to work.....sigh.

Elaine- We're with you in spirit and hoping your 20 miler goes well for you today! That's a huge mental milestone and it's important to feel it went well.

Cathy- I'm with Carole in that I'm so jealous you're able to work out at Cathe's gym. In your position I probably wouldn't join also but would go there on special occasions now and then. I'm not a gym person anyway, I love working out in the privacy and comfort of my own home.

Carole- If you think the Powerstrikes are difficult then I'll have to give em a try! I didn't like kickboxing initially but have grown to really enjoy it. I love it when you post your beautiful pictures! Have a great long run with your friends today!

Barb- A wise move to postpone your run today. I hope you can zap this cold before it gets going! So next weekend is the BIG event!

Adri- I hope the weather cooperates for you tomorrow so you can get in a nice jog. Are you all prepared for school starting?

Katrina- nice job on the 5 miler today! You got in a great workout. I remember the first time I conquered those pikes on the ball! Now if I could only get those levitation holds x(

Jennifer- hope your cold clears up! We've had a lot of sick cheetahs lately. Take care :)

Time to get moving. Hi Christine.... I bet when I post this I'll find you are too! Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!

Hi Jennifer--
I definitely didn't mean to embarrass you about being "male" on the profile. I'm so sorry if I didn. You are lucky to live in CA. You could meet up with Christine at her half coming up soon.

Shelly--nice you got to sleep in. Thanks for the support about postponing my run. I'm hoping this cold doesn't blossom into much. I'm trying to lay low....


Have a great rest of the day!
-Barb
 
Hey Shelly-Yea I'm all ready for school. Went MAJOR clothes shopping yesturday and then did school supplies (clothes come first;-))

Jennifer-Have fun w/ BC/ME today and LOL on the male thing:7

Take Care Cheetahs!!

Guys, I am jacked! My 1/2 is in 21 days! I have my "bib" hanging up so I can see it every day. I am #75. I have my shirt hanging up in my bedroom so I can see it every day too. The sponsor of the 1/2 has a last name that is very similar to mine so my last name is "kind of" on the front. It is cool looking. It is so close now I can taste it. I NEVER thought I would be able to do a half and now I KNOW I CAN!! I deal sometimes with low self esteem issues (probably because I grew up in an alcholic home) and am often afraid to step outside of my comfort zone. I felt the same way a few years ago when I dared to attempt my Masters degree. In my head I had told myself I would never be able to do it. Once I tried and got over my inital fear,I did it and I did it with a 4.0. This half is as significant to my as my M.Ed. My 40's have been a turning point for me and I am starting to feel like I can do anything if I put my mind to it. Wonder what my 50's will be like. BTW I am two months shy of turning 44.

In honor of Cathe's upcoming Body Max Two I will be doing Body Max today. I have decided that Sundays will be for long glorious Cathe workouts that I can not do on a school day.
 
Good Luck Girl!!! We love ya;-)

Take Care
